Installation Steps
Note: More than likely you installed DIAdem during the installation of the primary Data Acquisition Software for
your device. If you already installed DIAdem, please ignore the following steps.
1. Install Software.
(a) Insert the install CD-ROM and wait for
your PC to auto-access the CD.
(b) When the Data Acquisition Software – Master Setup
screen appears, check:
“DIAdem Post Acquisition Data Analysis Program.”
(c) Click Start Install.
2. Choose a DIAdem Installation Type.
You will be prompted to choose a DIAdem installation
type.
Note : Select one of these two options unless you purchased a licensed version of DIAdem.
Y DIAdem Shell + View for IOtech Customers – Installs a free version with DIAdem Shell and DIAdem View.
This version is provided free to users of IOtech hardware.
Y DIAdem 30 Day Trial – Select this installation type if you did not purchase a licensed version of DIAdem,
but would like to try out DIAdem’s expanded features.
Select one of the above options unless you purchased a DIAdem licensed version. Do not confuse the
“Standard” Licensed version (below) with the DIAdem Shell + View for IOtech Customers version, as
these are completely different installs. To install any of the following three “Licensed” versions you must
have a license disk and password. The DIAdem program will inform you when to insert a License Disk,
password, and user name.
Y DIAdem Licensed Version (Customized) – Allows you to specify the installed software components for licensed
DIAdem.
Y DIAdem Licensed Version (Minimized) – Installs only the program files for Licensed DIAdem. There are no “quick
view” or “help files” installed.
Y DIAdem Licensed Version (Standard) – Installs program, “quick view,” and documentation files for a DIAdem
licensed version.
If you purchased a licensed version of DIAdem, a license disk and password were included in your
order. The DIAdem install program will inform you when to insert the License Disk and when to
enter your license password and user name.
